                                         THE KINGDOM AGE IS COMING

 

Marcella Ward   February 21, 2024

 

AN AGE OF EXPANSION   February 19, 2024    Word from the Lord through Diana Larkin

 

“You are entering AN AGE OF EXPANSION. As the DEEP DARKNESS is DRIVEN from much of the world, more and more of My LIGHT and My GOODNESS will FILL those places. This will result in a BETTER LIFE and a BETTER WORLD for all. When mankind is FREED of the SLAVERY to darkness and to DEFILING perversions, CREATIVITY will ABOUND and BEAUTY will INCREASE. FREEDOM and PURITY in the atmosphere will PROMOTE healthy and plentiful crops and animals. Music, arts, and entertainment will REFLECT My NATURE, My BEAUTY, and My HOPE. My Church will no longer be CONTAINED in a building, but it will be WOVEN THROUGHOUT all of society as a REPRESENTATIVE of My Kingdom. Government and media will TRANSFORM to SERVE the people and to SPREAD TRUTH. Did you know that your spirit can EXPAND, too? You will reach NEW HEIGHTS of REVELATION of who I AM and how much I LOVE YOU. I will REVEAL SECRETS of the Universe, and you will MARVEL at My MATCHLESS WISDOM and GLORY. Instead of FRETTING at the present shenanigans of those partnered with darkness as they FUTILELY try to STOP the AGE OF EXPANSION, start IMAGINING how GOOD, how FULL, how RICH, and how FREE life is going to be, as My Spirit POURS OUT on the world and the Kingdom Age flourishes. AN AGE OF EXPANSION is dawning over your world.”

The kingdom of God is a central concept in the teachings of Jesus. It refers to the reign and rule of God in heaven and on earth. It is a place of peace, love, and justice, where God's will is done and his glory is revealed. The kingdom of God is a spiritual reality that can be experienced by anyone who seeks it with a humble and repentant heart.

"But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." - Matthew 6:33

"For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit." - Romans 14:17

"Therefore, I tell you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people who will produce its fruit." - Matthew 21:43

We can enter into the kingdom of God by accepting Jesus as our savior and surrendering our lives to him. Through faith in Jesus and obedience to his commands, we can experience the fullness of the kingdom of God and live as citizens of his eternal kingdom.” (46 Bible Verses about the Kingdom of God Bible Lyfe Nathan, Editor)

A Prayer for God’s Kingdom

Dear God,

We pray for your kingdom to come on earth as it is in heaven. May your will be done on earth, just as it is in heaven.

We pray for peace and justice to reign in our world. We pray for an end to poverty, suffering, and disease. May your love and mercy be shared with all people, and may your light shine bright in the darkness.

We pray for your guidance and wisdom for all leaders, that they may seek to serve and protect the people under their care.

We pray for strength and courage for those who are facing hardship and struggle. May they find hope and comfort in you.

We pray for unity and harmony among all people, that we may come together as brothers and sisters, children of the same loving God.

We pray all of these things in your holy name, Amen. (46 Bible Verses about the Kingdom of God Bible Lyfe Nathan, Editor)

God’s Kingdom Is Within You  (Luke 17:20-21  (NCV)

20 Some of the Pharisees asked Jesus, “When will the kingdom of God come?”

Jesus answered, “God’s kingdom is coming, but not in a way that you will be able to see with your eyes. 21 People will not say, ‘Look, here it is!’ or, ‘There it is!’ because God’s kingdom is within you.”

God’s Kingdom is within us as a child of God so walk, talk and live your life in His Kingdom each and everyday!

A LETTER FROM JESUS

                                       

 

A Letter From Jesus:

Dear Friend,

I just had to send you a note to tell you how much I love you and care for you. I saw you yesterday as you were talking to your friend. I waited all day hoping you would want to talk with me. As evening came, I gave you a sunset to close your day and a breeze to rest you and I waited. You never came. Sure, it hurts me, but I still love you because I am your friend.

I saw you fall asleep last night and I longed to touch your face. Again I waited wanting to rush down so we could talk. I have so many gifts for you. You got up late and rushed off to work/school. My tears were in the rain.

Today you looked so sad - so all alone. It makes my heart ache because I understand. My friends let me down many times too, but I love you.

If you would only listen to me! I love you! I try to tell you in the blue sky and in the quiet green grass. I whisper it in the leaves, in the trees, and breathe it in the colors of the flowers. I shout it to you in the mountain streams and give the birds' love songs to sing. I clothe you with warm sunshine and sweeten the air with nature scents.

My LOVE for you is deeper than the ocean and bigger than the biggest want or need in your heart. If you would only knew how much I want to walk and talk with you. I know how hard it is on Earth. I really know! And I want to help you.

I want you to meet my Father. He wants to help you too. My Father is that way you know. Just call me - ask me - talk with me! Please don't forget me! I have so much to share with you! Alright, okay, I won't bother you any more. You are free to choose me. It's your decision. I have chosen you, and because of this I will wait, and wait, and wait, because I love you.

Your Friend, Jesus

On June 3, 2021, the Lord gave me the following words:

 “Have I not positioned the stars in space to sing a special song for you?  Did I not position the earth between the sun and the moon to give you light by day and light at night? (Job 38:7, Genesis 1:14) Did I not create the flower that brushed your cheek and gave its fragrant scent to you?  Did I not position a flower to burst into fiery flames of color so you could enjoy?

Have I not placed My heart in you to see others as I see them?  Look through My eyes, touch through my hands, hear what I say to you each and every day.  I am closer than your very breath.  BREATHE ME IN!”

Genesis 1:14  And God said, “Let there be lights in the vault of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark sacred times, and days and years, NIV

Job 38:7…while the morning stars sang together and all the angels shouted for joy?

 Through His Eyes (by Marty Ward copyright 1999)

 

There’s a man, staring back, in the window pane.

He’s looking at me, through the eyes of my life.

Hoping, that I will see, my life was not in vain.

He’s showing me, what He’s seen, through the eyes of my life.

 

Through His eyes, the reflection of my journey

Is seen through the cloudy window pane, of my eyes.

Through His eyes, the measure of my humanity

Is seen, when my pride and selfishness, dies.

 

Sitting here, and staring out, at the pouring rain

And thinking back on all the years and endless tears.

Seeing the world, pass me by, like an endless train

Remembering the failures, sorrows, and all the fears.

 

 

Lord, what do you see in me?

Am I becoming what you want of me?

Lord, what do you see through me?

Am I a reflection of You living in me?

 

Watching the sun, breaking through, the parting clouds above

Remembering how, Your light filled my darkest night.

Even though I failed and sinned, You forgave me with Your love

And blessed all of my days with Your peace and delight.

 

Feeling the warmth, and the hope, of a brand new day.

Like the flowers born just after a spring day’s rain.

My spirit finds new life when I follow Your way.

You’re the breath of my life seen in that window pane.

 

Through His eyes, the reflection of my journey

Is seen through the cloudy window pane, of my eyes.

Through His eyes, the measure of my humanity

Is seen, when my pride and selfishness, dies.

                                           KEEP CHRISTMAS WITH YOU

Marcella Ward    December 21, 2022

What does Christmas mean to you?  We know that it is celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ but should we go beyond that and keep Christmas with us all year?  Yes, Jesus should be not only in our hearts each and every day but be the focus of our attention each and every day.

I remember when I was very little my mother would bake sugar cookies as was a tradition in our family and we would leave extra cookies for Santa Claus.  My mother would even tell my sister and I that Santa even came and gave us each a kiss during the night.  One day I realized that Santa Claus was not real and that Mom and Dad were the “true” Santa.  This happened when I overheard my mother talking to someone on the phone about a bicycle that was going to be given to one of my brothers.

As I got older, I remember looking out at the dark sky on Christmas Eve and just feeling the “magic” of the moment in anticipation of Christmas day.  As the years passed I remember after opening presents, there was a feeling of emptiness inside after the big event had somehow lost its excitement. 

Christmas throughout the years has changed for me from the focus on Santa Claus; to the anticipation of what I was going to receive; to the celebration of Jesus each day.  I know that Jesus came as a gift to us.  He is the gift for the world.  He is a gift that needs to be opened each and every day.  I do celebrate Christmas with family and friends but I keep my focus on the One Who came to give us life more abundantly each and every day.  We exchange gifts and I am sure that God is pleased with that but do we fail to remember that it is His birthday and we should be celebrating His birth at this time?  Sometimes I think that we get so caught up in material things and the secular notion of Christmas, that it becomes Christ-less.  It’s like throwing a birthday party and forgetting whose birthday it is!

I remember a special song that the Muppets use to sing on Sesame Street that talks about keeping Christmas with you all through the year.  It is a sentiment that I think that we should think about and celebrate each day because without Christ’s birth, the world would be in darkness.  He is the light of the world so let us celebrate His coming to us each and every day!

Keep Christmas with you
All through the year,
When Christmas is over,
You can keep it near.
Think of this Christmas day
When Christmas is far away.

Keep Christmas with you
All through the year,
When Christmas is over,
Save some Christmas cheer.
These precious moments,
Hold them very dear
And keep Christmas with you
All through the year.

Christmas means the spirit of giving
Peace and joy to you,
The goodness of loving,
The gladness of living;
These are Christmas too.  (Sesame Street)

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
